As film and TV production slowly resumes, testing of crews for COVID-19 “varies wildly from company to company,” said Thom Davis, business manager of IATSE Grips Local 80, in his latest message to his members

“Some of the major studios treat the department-based employees differently than the production-based employees,” he wrote. “An example of this is that a company will not do a COVID test for those working through a department, but will insist on employees working on a rigging crew to take a test even though the two sets of employees are working on the same stage at the same time.”“In addition,” he wrote, “each company is treating testing compensation differently.

Davis added: “Your safety and well-being are a top priority for the union, and COVID-19 test is an important component,” he told his members. “As we are slowly, but steadily returning to work, it is important to know how each company is testing as our members are being called back in to work.” The local, which represents grips, rigging crews, medics and craft services, says in its survey that “the information collected will be for internal purposes only, and will under no circumstances will leave the office, nor will any personal information be shared with anyone.”
